The present invention provides a remote control device for an air-conditioning apparatus, with favorable operability while taking advantage of convenience of a touch panel, and further provides a remote control device for an air-conditioning apparatus which can save power. The remote control device includes a flat, plate-like display to display a state of settings of the air-conditioning apparatus or a control command; a touch panel provided on or under the display to receive input of a control command for the air-conditioning apparatus through detection of a change in an electric signal, the change occurring when a display position of the display is touched; a transmitter to transmit to the air-conditioning apparatus a signal of the control command input through the touch panel; and a start/stop button provided at a position different from the touch panel and configured to trigger start of operation of or stop of operation of the air-conditioning apparatus.
